There are the superheroes that we enjoy seeing in movie theaters, then there’s the Watchmen. A stark difference in terms of themes and tone, HBO’s upcoming series will take a look at the world of superheroes, particularly those who hide behind a mask and how the general public views them. From Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers), the series will take Alan Moore and Dave Gibbonsâ€™ iconic comic book series and weave in timely social issues that affect us today.

HBO has just unveiled a new trailer for Damon Lindelof‘s vision for a Watchmen series. You can find the first trailer here as well, if you missed it.

The series is based on the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic of the same name. But unlike a traditional adaptation, the series will take a look at the world created as a result of Adrian Veidt’s (Jeremy Irons) plans. Check out the full trailer below.

Damon Lindelof‘s vision of Watchmen, which will appear on HBO, will not be like the traditional comic book adaptations we are accustomed to seeing. Instead, the series will have a modern day spin on the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons comic, which focused on themes of time, patriotism, lies and deceit, and modernization. So while it won’t be a direct adaptation, it looks like some of those themes will carry over into the show, which we still know very little about.

HBO has released a new trailer that should give us a slight idea of what to expect. Check it out below.

Last week on FXâ€™s Legion, David Haller (Dan Stevens) had two encounters he never expected to have. One was with the actual Shadow King, Farouk (Navid Negahban), and the other was with future Syd (Rachel Keller). The end result is that according to Syd he has to help Farouk find his body. This means finding the Monk who knows where the body is hidden. David is spending an awful lot of time inside Caryâ€™s immersion tank bouncing back and forth through time and the Astral Plane. On this weekâ€™s Legion, the Monk finds himself inside Division 3 and poses a threat to everyone involved.

Last week, Legion returned to FX to begin Season 2 and to blow the collective minds of viewers everywhere. David Haller (Dan Stevens) shows up after a near year-long disappearance and his team at Summerland have joined Division 3 attempting to track down Farouk; The Shadow King, who has escaped inside of Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement). David reunites with Syd (Rachel Keller) and is aided by Cary and Kerry Loudermilk (Bill Irwin & Amber Midthunder) to assist in finding his former parasitic twin and arch-nemesis. Farouk aka The Shadow King aka Lenny Brusker is played with sadistic gusto by Aubrey Plaza. The mission is to find and destroy Faroukâ€™s body… a task made more difficult after David receives a message from Future-Syd to help Farouk! What path will David go down this week?

Legion burst back onto TV screens on Tuesday night with the same absurd surrealist approach that made it a fan favorite back in 2017. There is simply nothing off-limits on this show and it runs from the top down. Show creator Noah Hawley has reinvented genre TV with both this and Fargo (also on FX) and his team of actors, cinematographers, special effects people and musicians all work to create the single most unique 70+ minute experience for viewers each week. In the debut for its second season, Legion was laugh out loud funny, wonderfully irreverent, featured voiceover narration from an Emmy-nominated guest star, and of course, because itâ€™s Legion, culminated with an epic dance sequence.

Following the recently released teaser trailer, an official trailer for season two of the X-Men spinoff series Legion has now been released.

The FX and Marvel series follows David Haller (played by Dan Stevens), who once believed he was a schizophrenic but discovers he might actually be a powerful mutant. You can read more about Legion and watch the official season two trailer below.

Last year, my choice for best and most original new show was FXâ€™s Legion, created by Fargoâ€™s Noah Hawley. The Marvel property tells the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), an immensely strong mutant with a bevy of powers not fully recognized yet, but including telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and telepathy. The show, which ran for 8 episodes in the Spring, covered Davidâ€™s battles within and around his own mind, battling the Shadow King (Aubrey Plaza) and secret government agents trying to use his powers for themselves. The show featured stunning cinematography and special effects and was as visually stimulating as it was fascinating for its incredible writing and characters. While Plaza stuck out and deserved an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress, the rest of the cast, including Rachel Keller, Bill Irwin, Jean Smart, Jemaine Clement, and Amber Midthunder, was excellent as well. In a world populated with superheroes, Legion stood above all. Now, a trailer has been released for Season 2, which premieres on this April.

Tonight is bittersweet for fans of arguably the best new show of 2017 as FXâ€™s Legion bids farewell to its incredible debut season. Weâ€™ve been a wild ride with David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who we met in a mental institution with paranoid schizophrenia, who happens to be the worldâ€™s most powerful mutant. Last week, in one of the most amazing episodes of any show Iâ€™ve ever seen, David talked himself out of Lennyâ€™s trap, while Syd (Rachel Keller) helped organize the team. It was revealed that Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) is really an evil mutant parasite called The Shadow King that latched onto David as a baby. David trapped Shadow King deep down in the recesses of his mind and right when you thought it safe to take a breath, Division 3 converged on Summerland, led by a scarred Interrogator (Hamish Linklater).

This is the penultimate episode of Legionâ€™s first amazing season on FX and that honestly just makes me sad. Last week, we were knee deep in Lennyâ€™s version of hell as she had David and all the Summerland gang locked inside Davidâ€™s head in a version of the Clockworks mental hospital. In there, David (Dan Stevens) seemed content to be there, but girlfriend Syd (Rachel Keller) wanted out and this drew conflict with Lenny (Aubrey Plaza). Kerry (Amber Midthunder) was having separation anxiety from brother Cary (Bill Irwin) and was being stalked by the uber creepy Eye (Mackenzie Gray). Aubrey Plaza was just unbelievable, stealing every scene sheâ€™s in, including an unreal impromptu dance number straight out of a Bond opening sequence. And Dan Stevens shows his range like crazy going from wild powerful maniac in episode to somber mental patient who just wants to be in love. Having just watched Stevens dominate the screen as the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Iâ€™m left wondering if there is anything the man cannot doâ€¦
